Trump-Endorsed Alfonso, 26, Wins Duffy's Old Wisconsin Seat

Michael Alfonso, a 26-year-old Republican accountant, won Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District on Tuesday and will arrive in Washington as the youngest member of Congress, Fox News reported.

Alfonso beat Democrat Fred Clark, a former state lawmaker, by what Fox described as a double-digit margin. He succeeds Rep. Tom Tiffany, who left the seat to run for Wisconsin governor. It is the same seat once held by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who is also Alfonso's father-in-law.

Trump endorsed him in May, calling him a “MAGA warrior.” Alfonso was born in February 2000, works as an accountant for the Diocese of Superior, and lives in Hayward with his wife, Evita Duffy, and their 5-month-old daughter. He worked construction and concrete while at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and later produced “The Dan Bongino Show.”

His primary opponents hit him over family ties and campaign donors. He answered by pointing at Washington's track record: “What has experience gotten us at the congressional level?” he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

He ran on affordability and restoring the American Dream, and promises help for first-time homebuyers, lower health care costs and Title IX legislation limiting women's and girls' facilities to biological women. “As a new dad, I have a personal stake in our future,” he told Fox News Digital.

Duffy said in August that having someone “who knows how to put on a pair of jeans and a pair of boots and a hard hat” in Congress would be great.
